Donald Trump and his supporters promise
to go down fighting if a rigged system puts
Hillary Clinton in the White House, after the
FBI gave a clean chit for Clinton in the email
scandal for the second time.
When the FBI lifted the threat Sunday that
Clinton could face charges over her emails,
Trump and his supporters lost no time in reit-
erating that Clinton was being protected by a
system that is rigged. Voters across the coun-
try are talking openly with the media about
their concerns regarding subtle and overt vot-
er intimidation. According to Professor Doug-
las Spencer, an expert in Election Law, Univer-
sity of Connecticut, anything similar to
delaying a voter from reaching or leaving a
polling station, participating in an unauthor-
ized poll watching or questioning voters about
their choice of candidate or verbally harass-
ing voters constitutes intimidation.
In Philadelphia, African American voters
have complained of at least one count of in-
timidation after Trump called on his support-
ers to ensure that they did not steal votes.
For these reasons,
Clinton is guilty! F l o r i d a vo t e r,

Professor Spencer. But speaking to sections of
the population across the country indicates
that this rule is not being complied with by
most of Trumps self-styled revolutionaries.
In swing states like Florida, Ohio, Colorado,
Nevada the Republican were warned if they
saw Trumps posse law enforcement would
make an arrest. And that is when Donald
Trump stepped back. But this, say Americans,
is the tip of the iceberg. Of even greater con-
cern say citizens, are groups like Three Per-
cent Security Force a militia group stating
it is preparing for civil unrest in case Clinton
wins. Based in the state of Georgia, the militia
group that consists primarily of people con-
vinced that Hillary Clinton wants to take away
their guns. Trump who is endorsed by the Na-
tional Rifle Association a major American
gun lobby believes in the right to bear arms.
The group fiercely and unapologetically backs
Trump. In case of a fraudulent Clinton victory,
the group plans to march on Washington to
protect protesters and prevent the new presi-
dent from taking their guns.
